Brighton rockers McQueen have lost their third bass player in as may years as Gina Collins recently left the band.

Gina, who herself was a replacement for Sophie Taylor, joined the band in January and quickly made an impact with her commanding stage presence. The split is amicable and Gina had the following to say on her Myspace blog:

"Theres been some awesome times had with the band and really glad to have met some fantastic people and great bands. I wish the band the best of luck and hope the new bassist has a great time with the girls.

Thanks to the people who came to the shows, hung out and partied! I have some great memories"

She is replaced by new member Cat, previously of Sound of the Furies who made her debut last night on the first date of the UK tour in Manchester.
